Oops...Make that 350Z touring 6MT in Brickyard.

I'm very much looking forward to comparing the Z to my Esprit and will write a detailed report once my car arrives (October at last check)

1978 Chevy Malibu 2-door: $300 car. Perhaps the greatest car I ever owned for that one reason.
1988 Dodge Ram 50 Sport: Paid $5400, sold it years later for not much less than that.
1995 Acura Integra GS-R: First new car, paid with my hard-earned $$$. Stolen after less than one year. May those dirtbags end up under the front tire of my current vehicle.
1994 Nissan Pathfinder SE (5-speed): God Bless auto insurance. I had every intention of keeping this truck until the wheels fell off it (which would take a LOT time knowing how well I take care of my vehicles). Then fate put some 17 year old kid behind me in traffic who was too busy with his cell phone to pay attention to the cars ahead of him. I got slammed into at 60MPH, walked away with a scuffed up shin and a nasty headache.
1998 Nissan Pathfinder SE (5-speed): Why break a winning streak? Loved my 94, moved right into the 98 with some more help from the insurance company.
2003 350Z Performance -- can't get here soon enough.

Let the record show, all cars were paid for with my money. This may seem trivial to some, but it's something I'm proud of. In the same span of time, I'm in my 2nd house. I must have done something right in life...

I'm cheating because #1 was bought with cash when I was 15 1/2. I knew it was "solid", as the floor boards were holding 4 inches of water when I bought it. Only 9 were bought new.

LS350Z

I paid for everything I ever got except one (noted)......

1969 Chevy Camaro (11 second drag racer) bought when I was 14
1969 Chevy Camaro (10.02 1/4 mile)
1985 Cadaliac Cimarron (free from my aunt and what a POS)
1985 Pontiac Grand Prix with Chevy 350 transplant (what a sleeper)
1970 Challenger with 340 (complete POS)
1969 Olds Cutlass rocket 350
1967 Olds 442 W-30 Convertible (still have)
1999 Honda Civic Si (still have)
1984 VW Rabbit GTI (still have, SCCA club racing ITB)
1983 VW Rabbit GTI (still have)
2003 Nissan 350Z enthusiast 6M Lemans Sunset (due in Nov?)

I've actually owned about 10 more cars but those were bought, fixed and sold without ever really driving. All of the above cars served as my transportation for some time (except the 67 Olds. it's my show car).

BryanR

1982 Toyota Tercel SR5 (sport model!); paid $1,500 cash
1988 Mazda Mx-6 (totalled, not my fault)
1991 Honda Accord Coupe (hail damage; traded for Jeep)
1993 Jeep Wrangler
1994 Honda Accord Coupe
1993 Nissan 300 ZX bought in 1995 (red, coupe; sold in 2000 with 42k miles; shoul have kept it)
1999 VW Passat GLS v6 (current)
2003 350Z Enthusiast SilverStone (if they can fix the scratches in obtained during delivery!)

Boy, that looks like a lot of cars. My new self-imposed rule is to keep a car for 3 years! But I'm breaking it with the Passat since I have only had it for 2 years and 4 months...

nosuchsol

Not a big list:

1987 Mazda pickup
1985 Nissan 300ZX 2+2(58k on it!)
1990 Nissan 300ZX TT(i sold it, and it got totalled a few months later)
1995 Acura Integra(I needed a better commuter than the Z)
2003.5 Infiniti G35(coming in 10 months)

The Z would be a blast to own and I could say that I have owned the previous 3 generations of Z's, but i'll have to do that after practicality. =(
